Overview

Spondylodiscitis is an inflammation of the base and upper plates of the vertebra as well as the adjoining intervertebral disc and is frequently accompanied by spondylitis (inflammation of the vertebral body).

Infectious spondylodiscitis is caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites and can result in deformed vertebral segments and neurological complications.
